between the united states and japan which among other things guarantees the integrity of china this agreement according to the russ merely postpones the inevitable struggle until the end of william h taft's term of office the two nations have surveyed the situation and have decided that a poor peace is better thn a good quarrel the american naval programme and the american fortifications of the pacific are not yet completed and japan is in finan cial straits the outcome of a naval con flict to-day between the two countries would be uncertain but under cover of this new agreement each will push its war preparations to completion washington nov 30 there is belief here that the exchange of notes between the united states and japan may have a direct bearing on the mission of the chinese special envoy tang shao yi in case he has been deputed to fulfill some more important mission than thanking the united states government for the return of a large portion of the boxer indemnity fund this is based on the known attitude of yuan shi kai the recognized sponsor of tang shao yi and the desire of yuu shi kai not to offend japan at the pres ent moment there is reason to believe that mr yuan favors a c'.ose drawing together of china and the united states but has hesitated about making his views public because of the fear of offending jap:\n paris nov 30 the french press unanimously recognizes the immense im portance of the american-japanese agree ment considering it a master stroke of diplomacy for the two countries instead of fighting to clasp hands and become partners in the
